Features:

Aquila’s Red Series revolutionary new approach to achieve lower frequencies in their strings involves changing the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge unchanged. This involves adding red copper powder to increase the density of the string to almost twice as much as standard white Nylgut. This results in a stiffer string capable of lower tunings, less breakage and better intonation. This is compared to the old method of increasing a string’s gauge which would result in internal dampening making the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled. The strings maintain their intonation better, because thicker strings need to be fretted harder, pulling them further out of tune.
